SUPERIORCOURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION INF'ORMATION SHEET / CIVIL DTVISION Many casescan be resolvedto the satisfactionofall partieswithout the necessityoftraditional litigation, which can be expensive, time consuming,and shessful.The Court finds that it is in the best interestsof the partiesthat they participatein altemativesto traditionallitigation,includingarbitration,mediation,neutralevaluation, specialmastersandreferees, andsettlement conferences. Therefore,all mattersshall be referredto an appropriateform of Altemative Diipute Resolution(ADR) beforethey aresetfor trial, unlessthereis goodcauseto dispense with theADR requirement. llhat k ADR? ADR is the generalterm for a wide varietyof disputeresolutionprocessesthat are alternativesto litigation. Types of ADR processesincludemediation,arbitration,neutralevaluation,specialmastersand referees,andsettlementconferences,amongothi:rs forms. llhat are the ad,vantages of choosingADR insteadof litigation? ADR canhavea numberofadvantages overlitigation: < ADR can savetime.A disputecanbe resolvedin a matterof months,or evenweeks,while litigationcantakeyears. < ADR can savemoney.Attomey'sfees,courtcosts,andexpertfeescanbe reducedor avoidedaltogether. < ADR providesmore participation,Partieshavemoreopportunities with ADR to express their interestsandconcems,insteadof focusingexclusivelyon legalrights. < ADR providesmore control and flexibilify.Partiescanchoosethe ADR processthatis mostlikely to bring a satisfactory resolutionto theirdispute. < ADR can reduce stress.ADR encourages cooperationand communication,while discouragingthe adversarialatmosphereof litigation. Surveysofparties ivho haveparticipatedin an ADR processhavefound much greatersatisfactionthanwith partieswho havegonethroughlitigation. What are lhe main forms of ADR offered by the Courl? < Mediation is an informal,confidential,flexibleandnon-bindingprocessin the mediatorhelpsthe partiestounderstandthe interests ofeyeryoneinvolved,andtheirpracticalandlegalchoices.The mediatorhelpsthepartiesto communicate befter, explorelegaland practicalsettlementoptions,andreachan acceptablesolutionofthe problem.The mediatordoesnot decidethe solutionto the dispute;the partiesdo. < Mediationmay be appropriate when: < The partieswant a non-adversaryprocedure < The partieshavea continuingbusiness or personalrelationship < Communicationproblemsare interferingwith a resolution < Thereis an emotionalelementinvolved < The partiesare interestedin an injunction,consentdecree,or other form of equitablerelief < Neutral evaluation,sometimes called"Early NeutralEvaluation"or "ENE", is an informalprocessin which the evaluator, an experienced neuhallawyer,hearsa compactpresentation ofboth sidesofthe case,givesa non-bindingassessment ofthe strengths andweaknesses on eachside,andpredictsthe likely outcome.The evaluatorcanhelp partiesto identiff issues, preparestipulations, and draftdiscoveryplans.The partiesmay usethe neutral'sevaluationto discusssettlement. Neufal evaluationmay be appropriatewhen: < The partiesare far apartin their view of the law or valueof the case < The caseinvolvesa technicalissuein which the evaluatorhasexpertise < Caseplanningassistance would be helpful andwould savelegal feesand costs < The partiesareinterested in an injunction,consentdecree,or otherform ofequitablerelief -over-
